Fall of the House of Usher, excerpt
By Edgar Allan Poe

Upon my entrance, Usher rose from a sofa on which he had been lying at full length, and greeted me with a vivacious warmth which had much in it, I at first thought, of an overdone cordiality—of the constrained effort of the ennuyé1 man of the world. A glance, however, at his countenance convinced me of his perfect sincerity. We sat down; and for some moments, while he spoke not, I gazed upon him with a feeling half of pity, half of awe. Surely, man had never before so terribly altered, in so brief a period, as had Roderick Usher! It was with difficulty that I could bring myself to admit the identity of the wan being before me with the companion of my early boyhood. Yet the character of his face had been at all times remarkable. A cadaverousness of complexion; an eye large, liquid, and luminous beyond comparison; lips somewhat thin and very pallid, but of a surpassingly beautiful curve; a nose of a delicate Hebrew model, but with a breadth of nostril unusual in similar formations; a finely moulded chin, speaking, in its want of prominence, of a want of moral energy; hair of a more than web-like softness and tenuity;—these features, with an inordinate expansion above the regions of the temple, made up altogether a countenance not easily to be forgotten. And now in the mere exaggeration of the prevailing character of these features, and of the expression they were wont to convey, lay so much of change that I doubted to whom I spoke. The now ghastly pallor of the skin, and the now miraculous lustre of the eye, above all things startled and even awed me. The silken hair, too, had been suffered to grow all unheeded, and as, in its wild gossamer texture, it floated rather than fell about the face, I could not, even with effort, connect its Arabesque expression with any idea of simple humanity.

The story is "Just for the Thrill of it"

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The author points out that some pilots may feel tempted and motivated to perform dangerous maneuvers while flying an airplane. The adrenaline of that moment is very exciting and can cause pilots to take risks even if they are later punished. The problem with these maneuvers is the danger they present and the apprehension they can present in cities due to the fear that citizens may feel when they see risky and completely unpredictable maneuvers.

This can be seen in the following lines:

"While prohibited, flying under the bridge wasn’t as dangerous as some of the other activities they engaged in. Stories of complaints lodged by northern New York residents appeared under the headline: “Dangerous Flying of Airmen From Canada Draws U.S. Ire.”"

" The article acknowledged the temptation it was to trainee pilots to mimic the fighter pilots in combat as they “darted and dodged and strafed.”"

I need a full informational expository essay on Albert Einstein...
ASAP!

Answers

Answer:

Albert Einstein was one of the smartest men in the world! He is widely know as the "mr mc^2 man!" If you've heard of him, you more than likely know he was a theoretical physicist! He might be really smart, but what you might not know is that he wasn't always smart!

Einstein at a young age:

When he was younger, he not only failed math, he also didn't talk very fast, and had Asperger’s or was schizophrenic with dyslexia! How did this amazing genius turn out to be this amazing man we know today? He had to learn to do things just like you and me! He wasn't always smart- but he learned how to be! Einstein is a role model to all, because he showed that you don't always have to get the best grades to succeed in life!

Einstein progresses:

"While it may be true that Einstein spoke deliberately and was often quiet, it is false to say that he did not speak until he was three. Einstein’s sister was born when he was two and a half, at which point, Einstein vocalized his disappointment that his sister was not a toy by asking, “But where are its wheels?” Einstein’s sister wrote that he was a quiet child, but this is not the same as having an inability to express himself or verbalize. Knowing that Einstein was comparatively late in this area of development is not enough to say that he had Asperger’s. It could be as simple as, he was an introvert trapped in an extroverted world. If you are an introvert, or are the parent of an introvert, then there is a good chance that you can relate to the idea of not speaking unless you think it is something important to share." https://nerdywithchildren.com/     what-was-albert-einstein-like-as-a-kid/ He finally got his voice by asking a  simple funny sentence about why his sister wasn't a toy! This just proves that it didn't take an amazing doctor or genius to make Einstein who he was!

S-u-c-c-e-s-s spells SUCCESS

Einstein went from this little boy that couldn't talk until 3 to this amazing super genius! He went from graduating college wanting to be a physics teacher, to a AWARD WINNING SUPER STAR! Einstein went on to win many awards like the many Nobel prizes and medals! He was a super success, and a man to look up to for years into the future!

In conclusion:

Einstein was a amazing person! He not only conquered everything in his life that was hard, but he did it with a smile on his face! He went from a barely passing kid, to an award winning sensation! That is why Albert Einstein is a idol for all that comes across him! Without him we wouldn't know as much as we do about math! Thank you, Einstein!

Read the following excerpt from a narrative about a dishwasher’s first day working in a professional kitchen: Alfred stood at the dishwasher, the steam blasting his hair and leaving it lank and plastered to his neck. He needed this job. He would do anything to keep it. He was an experienced dishwasher. He knew he’d be able to impress his boss, if she’d just give him the chance. When she’d asked him to stay an extra couple hours, Alfred hadn’t had to think about it. He’d just said, “_________.” If the author of the narrative wanted to keep developing the main character, which line of dialogue would BEST finish the scene? Why?
A. “Excuse me, Mrs. Wilkes”; it shows that Alfred is polite.

B. “Until 2 AM?”; it provides a detail about how late Alfred will have to stay at work.

C. “I’ll stay as late as you need me to, Mrs. Wilkes”; it gives Alfred a chance to declare his commitment to the job.

D. “Is this the button you press to restart the dishwasher?”; it provides an important detail about the work of being a dishwasher.

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

I got it right on the test

When she’d asked him to stay an extra couple hours, Alfred hadn’t had to think about it. He’d just said, “I’ll stay as late as you need me to, Mrs. Wilkes”; it gives Alfred a chance to declare his commitment to the job. Hence, option C is correct.

What is commitment to the job?

The degree of dedication an employee has to the responsibilities allocated to him or her at work is known as work commitment. It is the sense of obligation someone has toward the objectives, mission, and vision of the organization they are affiliated with.

Marriage is an example of an extensive commitment. When you accept a job, both you and your employer commit to doing the work satisfactorily and showing there on time. There are also smaller obligations. If you committed to meeting a friend at six, keep your word and show up on time otherwise the friend will get upset.

Employee commitment is the connection they feel to their employer. Employees who are dedicated to their company typically have a connection, in general.

Thus, option C is correct.

Answers

Answer:

Gupta asked the waitress if she knew the girl who had been sitting over there. The waitress answered that she did not know her, but that she had noticed the girl had lunch there on Saturdays. Gupta then inquired if the girl didn't go there on any other day. The waitress replied she never saw the girl on other days.

Explanation:

When converting direct speech to reported speech, some simple steps can be very helpful:

- Use verbs such as "say", "tell", "ask", "inquire", "answer", "reply", "state", etc. to indicate the manner in which something was spoken.

- Change the pronouns according to the situation. For example, if it is a man speaking, the pronoun "I" can become "he".

- Change words that indicate time or location if necessary. For instance: here → there; today → that day; tomorrow → the next day; etc.

- Change the verb tenses to their respective pasts. For example: simple present → simple past; present perfect → past perfect; will → would.

An example:

- Mila said, "Why do you always call me when I'm busy? I'll talk to you tomorrow."

- Mila asked why he always called her when she was busy. Then she said she would call him the next day.
